In a latest development in former Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik's post marriage controversy, the two families are now gearing up for a legal battle.

According to the sources close to Ayesha Siddiqui's family, they have sent a legal notice to Malik and his brother-in-law Imran Zafar Malik.

After Indian tennis player Sania Mirza announced her wedding with the former Pakistan captain, the Siddiquis came out in public alleging that he married their daughter Ayesha in 2002 and later dumped her.

The legal notice served to Maliks reportedly includes charges like - harassment, fraud and character assassination.

Meanwhile, Malik's family is also preparing for a legal battle with the Siddiquis in India.

The Maliks have reportedly filed a defamation suit against Ayesha's family.

According to the sources, the Maliks have spoken to renowned lawyer Ramesh Gupta to represent them in India.

Gupta is a former chairman of BAR Council of Delhi. He has appeared as defence lawyer in high-profile cases like BMW hit-and-run case. He is also the main lawyer for slain politician Pramod Mahajan's son Rahul Mahajan in the ongoing trial in a narcotics case.

Earlier on Friday, Ayesha's family launched an all-out attack on Malik and his family.

Ayesha's mother said that Shoaib Malik has "cheated her daughter" and they didn't send Ayesha to Pakistan as they feared for her life.
